On Fighting for "Animal Rights"
Animal Person
APRIL 5, 2011
A couple of years ago I wrote about whether it's a good use of my time to be a purist about the term "animal rights" when most of the world doesn't have the same understanding of the term as I do. Or how a paragraph would refer to animal rights and animal welfare as if they're interchangeable.

It seems like creating packs is the best survival method for animals and humans. which are also animals) On Netflix's "Predators" they show a Puma family that doesn't form a pack but it seems like life in a group would be a lot easier. submitted by /u/J0E_Blow [link] [comments]
What do we do about trophy ("sport") hunting?
Reddit Animals
JUNE 14, 2023
I hate when animals are killed needlessly simply to be stuffed or their heads hung on the wall. It seems both political parties do nothing for animals. Popular hunting magazines make animal rights groups like they're the bad guys. Trophy hunters simply enjoy stepping on their heads. What are we to do?

On "Animal Activism"
Animal Person
MAY 23, 2009
I've used the term "animal activism" lately as an experiment. I notice that if I use "animal rights activist" or anything with the word "rights" in it, because it's loaded and misunderstood, my listener often has an immediate bias of some kind. People have a relationship, whether or not they are aware, to the term "animal rights."

AUGUST 19, 2009
In advocating utilitarianism to a group of people I therefore had to express my feelings and appeal to their feelings.

Before bringing your new pet home, have a place ready for the dog, however if the animal does not want to use it, don’t force him. After several days the animal should get accustomed to the new environment and learn to articulate his needs. First, you can search for animals in need at the local shelter. So where to find a dog?”.
